Sort by linter and not just line number

[x528491x]

Your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.

When using the CLI with --sort-results, it only sorts by line number. I usually run --enable-all and to catch all lint errs and I want to be able to sort by linter in an alphabetical order. Even using the tabbed output format is not straightforward because the spaces between the columns are arbitrary and not an actual single tab.

Describe the solution you'd like.

An inbuilt --sort-results-by-linter would be great.

Describe alternatives you've considered.

golangci-lint run --enable-all --out-format=tab | sed "s/ \+ /\t/g" | sort -t" " -k2
